“…The study conducted by Kuloor et al [19] on internal fixation of pillar fractures provides a comparative analysis of two treatment options, ORIF and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). This study is particularly relevant because it highlights the evolution of fracture management, where less invasive techniques such as MIPO are increasingly used.…”

This study provides a comprehensive examination of the current methodologies and potential strategies for the treatment of articular fractures of the foot. In the field of orthopedic healthcare, these fractures present a significant challenge due to their complex nature and the fact that they affect the routines of patients. The motivation behind this study is based on two main concepts. The first one is represented by the use of emerging medical technologies and personalized medicine to bring a significant transformation in the management of foot fractures and give a better quality of treatment that is accepted by the patient. However, because there are inequities in the availability of the necessary medical care and equipment, as well as uneven incorporation in clinical settings, new technologies cannot be used to treat these types of fractures. Regarding the second concept behind this study, it is indicated that although current treatment methods are essential, they have a number of shortcomings when it comes to properly addressing these types of injuries. An approach is needed that takes into account the biomechanical points of view and the particularities of each patient. This approach could be applied in all hospital settings. Through this study, we want to highlight the progress made in recent years in surgical techniques such as 3D printing, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), and biological products. However, in the application of this new discovery, new obstacles have been discovered that prevent the efficient treatment of these types of injuries. This study examines the effectiveness and limitations of current treatments, as well as how differences in healthcare, such as available equipment, training of medical staff, and technological advances, affect patient outcomes in everyday life. This research wishes to emphasize that continuous innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the use of an optimal approach that is appropriate for each patient, are essential. This study aims to provide new insights and useful recommendations for future research and clinical practice. The main role of this research is to improve the quality of life of patients and increase the standards of care in this complex field, which is in permanent evolution.

“…Hybrid external fixation and internal locking osteosynthesis offer stability in isolated impaction fractures and are preferred in older patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis 31 . One study examining low-energy pilon fractures (OTA A, B, and C) determined that minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis and ORIF are equally effective treatment strategies when articular congruity is maintained 32 . While rare, syndesmosis and syndesmotic equivalent injuries have been reported in patients with pilon fractures with an incidence of up to 15%.…”

Tibial pilon fractures are devastating injuries requiring complexsurgical management resulting in a challenging postoperativecourse.» A multidisciplinary approach is required to manage these injuries in addition to patients' medical comorbidities and concomitant injuries to achieve optimal outcomes. » The case presented here demonstrates the importance of communication and teamwork between specialties in the management of a patient with a tibial pilon fracture that was medically optimized for surgery using a team-based approach.
